This car definitely gets attention when I drive. If you really want attention, drop the Vario-roof while waiting at an intersection. To me, 192 horsepower engine with 200 ft. pounds of torque is plenty zippy for me. I like the short gearing since it provides more torque, which is what you want in U.S. (seeing how we have 60~70MPH speed limits.) There is no performance difference between the automatic and manual trannies. I've had the car for two years and I've never had so much fun. I play golf and I can pack 2 smaller golf bags -- Ping L8 bags -- into the trunk by placing woods on top of the bags (this is with the roof up, of course.)

The car is amazing and gets a lot of attention. I've owned it for 4 years now and plan on keeping it for a long time. The retro look - both inside and out is timeless. Although it's terrible in snow or rain - when it's sunny out - it is my favorite car to own.

Definite head turner! Ride is so much better than a 330 ci. Crisp 5-speed. Respectible fuel mileage. Only 14 gallon tank though. Yeah, it's gotta super-charger!

I purchased used at 121XXX 09/09/20. After purchased, I changed the oil - dirty, Trannny fluid - dirty, rear diff - Black, Supercharger oil - Black, cleaned the MAF sensor, new rear tires - cracking not worn, cleaned the engine compartment, tightened some bolts causing a eng oil leak, started breaking down on the highway and inspected/repaired k40 relay. When I put it on blocks for the winter, it was purring like a kitten. Knowing I have all the common issues attended to, can't wait for spring. Just installed a trailer hitch and in the process of installing a trailer wiring converter. It's the wife's toy, but I enjoy it too.
Love it!

This car is very fun to drive. I have the five speed manual and it is wonderful. I recommend this car wholeheartedly.

Reliability of this car was outstanding. It was fun to drive, but was short on space. The warranty was running out, so I traded it in for a new ML500. The dealer was exceptionally easy to deal with as it related to some minor fixes. They always gave me a loaner (even when bringing it in for oil changes). Dealings with domestic dealerships on such things have resulted in claims of "that's the way it's supposed to be", or the fixing of one thing and the breaking of another (My domestic experiences have been limited to Cadillac and Dodge).
Too Fun

I owned numerous fine cars prior to buying this one in 99. I have always enjoyed this car more than any of the others. It really hit home Christmans of 2002 when I got hit on one of our major freeways at 60 mph and thrown into a concrete embankment. The airbag deployed and I walk away without a single scracth on me. My car was in the shop for 6 weeks with 18,000 of damage. I got it back yesterday and it looks and drives showroom new. I can not tell you how much I have missed it.

Other than some fit and finish problems, and loose, flapping top cables under the headliner, this has been a superb automobile. It took a while to get the annoyances fixed, but I love this car.
AWESOME CAR!

Just got this car for my 18th birthday, and I am in heaven. It handles like a dream, and there is no comparision with any other car in its class with regards to style.

I have this car over a year. The previous owner probably knew things were getting preety expensive so he dumpt her on me. That's what he thought. Since I have this gal, I fancy everyday having a bit of sunshine and clowdy as well. Oh yes ! I changed to LED fronr lights, changed to chrome front grill. Special shiny black alloy wheels. Replaced to fancy head unit.. I think she reminds me of Reeperrbahn now. Costs a lot . Fun for few hours a day.

I bought this car for my Mom in November of 1988. She was 82 years old at the time, and while she loved the car, she was mad we did not get the stick shift! She always liked the SL's. I took my driving test in a 190 SL back in the 50's. It was a stick shift. When I visited her in Fla,she would take me out in her 230 SLK. The original tires gave out in 10,000 miles. It also had the roof problem, but that was fixed under warranty. Her car is silver with a red and black interior. They apperently used some type of red paint on the interior parts, and that started to chip, Mercedes did repair some on a selective basis. Mom passed away in 2007. She drove until age 90. Car is in CT now with 15,500 miles on it

This is a spectacular car to drive - heads turn and eyes pop when the hardtop goes up and down. Though service was excellent, I've had too many incidental problems: the roof failed 2X, Dash warning indicators 2X; A/C; Bose receiver quit; tailight shorted; etc etc. But is it FUN to drive! My wife never cared much about cars but loves to drive this one.
